After being kept awake by barking dogs over 10 sleepless nights in Kathmandu’s Thamel zone, I decided to go upmarket for 5 days in a location away from the noise and pollution. Purna’s photos make it look like a typical Indian pseudo palace hotel, but the hotel is in reality more elegant and refined. The owner’s main business is renovating historic Nepali temples in the traditional style, and the hotel showcases the woodwork the traditional Newari style, including its own small museum of carved artefacts. The carpentry throughout varies from very fine to rather rough and ready, but it feels authentic to the vernacular of ancient Nepal. The hotel is spread across several buildings at different levels surrounding garden enclosures, and includes a swimming pool. The view looks over Kathmandu city from a high vantage point. It’s on the outskirts of the built-up region of Kathmandu and Patan, and mostly free of traffic and barking dogs. The room was nicely appointed. The commodious breakfast plate included both a continental array – juice, coffee, fruit salad, porridge with honey, plus toast, butter & jam & a combined full English breakfast - omelette, sausages, baked beans, fried tomato & salad. The coffee is fine. The lunch/supper options have very reasonable prices. The service was exemplary – kind and courteous! Worth visiting: To escape the hubbub, Godawari Botanical Gardens is definitely worth a visit - feels very natural with families dancing on the lawns to Nepalese folk music and children splashing in the streams. 20min taxi drive – recommend the Pathao app to book cars or bikes at a cheaper rate. Sirupate Trout Farm Restaurant, 15mins drive. The trout is fresh straight from the farm water troughs beside the restaurant – Cost 1800NR per kg ($13 or £10). 1/2kg was big enough for 2. Don't confuse venue with 'Village Trout Farm' situated 200m before Sirupate's location.

Saffs are so polite and Helpfulll.

We spent 3 nights, after return another 4 nights the hotel is absolutely Central located, Familiar, and it has amazing staff

I was in this hotel for the second time. When you come to Nepal for trekking, normally you fly to Kathmandu. Here you can buy clothes and gear for the trek. This hotel is in central location in Thamel, where are the shops and restaurants as well. Only good things to say about the hotel; rooms, WiFi, breakfast and staff are excellent. There is even a scale in the reception to weigh your bags and yourself, too !

Everything was great. The staff is nice and helpful, the breakfast is so delicious. This was like home away from home. I recommend it !

All... from staff....food....room how it îs arranged. A plus îs that the owner does not harrase you to buy some trips or anything from them. All rooms were designed în a very authentic and good style

Perfect retreat for a quiet and comfortable stay. The hotel offers a peaceful atmosphere, cozy rooms, and attentive service, making it ideal for relaxation. Cleanliness and amenities are well-maintained, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Highly recommended for those seeking tranquility and comfort.

The staff were very nice and helpful. They even lend us umbrella when it rains. They never forget to tidy the room daily. The daily breakfast was great. The location is terrific. It is close to souvenir shops, restaurants and bars, stores and Chayya Center.

Location and very kind, professional staff who will facilitate your stay in Kathmandu, either you stay for a while in Tamel and Kathmandu surroundings or prepare for the trekking adventure.

The hotel escapes from hustle snd bustle city. We enjoy the peaceful atmosphere from the crowded people and messy traffic a minute walk away. The hotel is located nearby the consulates. A mini supermarket is just on the same street as well as a money exchange shop. Opposite is Chhaya Centre where Marcopolo Restaurant serves wonderful Italian cuisine. Pizza is great! Himalaya Java Coffee is in same centre as well. A street away, you will find numerous brands of trekking things such as North Face, Rab, Kaemp 8848, Mountain Hardwear, Black Diamond, Buff, Scarpa, Marmot, Timberland, Blackyak......They are genuine. The room is perfect clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!
